We teachers LIVE for our summers! Often, starting the “count-down” right after Winter Break of how many days are left til the last day of school. I have rarely been a “day-counter”, but last year I became one, much to my personal horror….BIG TIME! Consequently, there where times when I was not fully present for my students OR myself. During this, my “Dozenth Year”, things are going to be different. I want to keep the great memories from this summer with me as a way to center, instead of waiting for experiences yet to come. I’m talking about having “Happy Daisy Moments” to help reduce stress during those tough situations that we all have.
